bah humbug

i noticed that some one on chris's thread at srs that there kids would have to go without xmas presents

so i thought i would share my thoughts on the subject seing that its still november and already don one xmas tree already and 5 more to do tomorrow and a monster on the 28 somewhere in the back and beyonds of cardiff

so have a happy bah humbug as by the time it gets to xmas i will be sick and feedup of it after putting up a couple of hundred trees

all the best stu62

You'd get on well with my oldest son. He heads off to an island alone to avoid Christmas.

I can quite understand you will be fed up with it by the time it arrives, putting up all those trees!
One is bad enough, and that doesn't go up until just before Christmas, if at all.

I have got the Christmas card photo done and the cards on order though!


PS what do you do that you have to put up so many trees??

mainly put plants in offices and restirants but i have been on the xmas thing now since the beging of the month with all the testing of the lights and makeing garlands and wreaths
(one of my work colleags as moved in with is gf and they have joint bank account and she said that she was going to buy a xmas tree and all the decorations so what di he do he canceld her bank card lol )

Ah, that explains it.

I know someone who works at a garden centre and hates Christmas - their display goes up at the end of September, complete with Christmas music played all day long. I would be completely round the bend by the end of the first week (a short journey it's true ).

The worst thing in retail is when you get to Christmas Eve the shop has to be stripped and the Sales put out ready for Boxing Day so having endured weeks of Noddy Holder and ghastly kitsch when you actually get to Christmas the festive spirit has gone!

Just to get you even more in the mood This years Christmas card from me. Not my best effort but I was feeling uninspired this year.

Unfortunately, one of the biggest local and privately-owned garden centres went up in flames (total loss) a few days ago - a great shame because they worked hard to resuscitate it from being a rundown Wyevale place 14 yrs ago to what it was (very good and friendly) a week ago. Probably because some cheap imported Xmas decorations caught fire due to "cr*p" and unsafe "non-proper CE" stuff (saw some of that last Xmas in my hairdresser's).
